Happy Clients

Hear what our clients have to say about us

Simone and her team were absolutely amazing to deal with. After expressing our requirements for a rental Simone was able to accommodate instantly and made the process of moving in as smooth as it could possibly be. I could not recommend this business enough as I have never dealt with a more professional and accommodating real estate agency before. Thank-you for all your hard work it is much appreciated!!!

 

Jack Zilberman

The girls at Blackbird and Finch are absolutely amazing! They go above and beyond to help with my rental property. Always great communication and so easy to deal with.
Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a professional and experienced realestate.

 

Deonie Simms

Simone and her team have been managing our interstate investment property for almost a year now. Our experience with the team has been absolutely wonderful. Having worked in Property Management previously, I was quite critical when selecting our manager, and I’m thrilled with our choice. Communication is always prompt, friendly and professional. Their systems and processes are incredibly efficient (much better than the systems we used. Their advice and guidance is great and comes with years of industry knowledge. And best of all, they found us wonderful tenants. Being interstate, it’s a huge relief knowing our tenants and investment property are in good care. Thank you, Simone and team!

 

Daniela Schell

I have had a number of dealings with various team members at Blackbird and Finch over the past few years and all have been wonderful to deal with. They handled our rental with professionalism and were always available if needed. Then to finally decide to sell the property, we could not have asked for a better outcome. I would highly recommend the team at Blackbird and Finch for any and all of your real-estate needs. I will miss the connection to Toowoomba.

 

Donna Sharp

Rebecca and Simone were an absolute dream to work with, from the advertising of our property all the way through to when we sold it. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They sourced top quality tenants for our property, always completed routine inspections on time, and our rent was always paid to us on time every time. They were a pleasure to work with, they really knew their stuff when it came to laws and regulations, and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending their services to anyone looking for a top managing agent! Thanks again Bec & Simone! 😉

 

Bridgette Callaghan

Simone and her team were amazing from our initial contact to lease our property through to the sale of our property. Simone and her team were professional on all levels, we easily contactable when needed and managed our tenants to such a high standard. I could not recommend Blackbird and Finch any more highly. Whether to be a property manager while leasing your property or to sell. 5 stars on all accounts.

 

Melissa McDonald

From the first phone call to Peter to settlement my experience has been nothing short of excellent. Peter has kept me up to date every step of the way with nothing being too much trouble for him.
I would highly recommend Peter to anyone who wants to get best price and a trouble free sale.
